I am a busy bee!! Well, I began packing today. So far my kitchen alone has taken eight boxes! I think you really realize how much worthless and unnecessary stuff you have when you move. As you can see...my kitchen is still a disaster....that is what I will be doing the rest of the day incase you are wondering....but I am taking a break now. Hopefully we will close this week. Everything is looking up (in reference to a couple posts ago). I am excited to move into our new place, but feeling a little nostalgic too. Even though this has been a temporary home that we have rented it has felt like our's. We have lived here for a little over a year, minus the summers of course. I will always have sweet memories of the home we brought little Andrew too from the hospital. At the same time I am so excited for a new beginning.
Lately I have been trying to develop some hobbies:) Why I am doing that now at the busiest time of the year, I'm not quite sure, but it has been really fun. I am working on a couple Christmas presents which I cannot reveal:) But I can show you this fun project. I found the cutest fabric store in Springville called the Corn Wagon. I decided to sign up for a class and the one they were offering at the time was a Christmas tree skirt. I went this past week and had so much fun. It was serious therapeutic for me to sit there alone and just work on something with no distractions. So, I've been working on it at home too. I like to stay home and not feel like I am dragging Andrew all over the place, but I get bored too. Sewing is my remedy these days. Never thought I would say that. Here are some pics...it isn't finished yet, but you get the idea. I need to do the back and then go have it quilted. I am excited it has turned out so cute!
p.s. If anyone is looking for, or knows someone who is looking for a glass dining table, cream rug from IKEA, printer, tv, dvr, surround sound system....I am trying to sell them! Everything is in great condition. The tv is still in great condition just not a flat screen:) Email me if you are interested at katie.hillstead@gmail.com
